For enums, I believe they should be formatted like their base types (so !s and !r will show the enum name, anything without coercion will show the value) .

I agree. While one of the big reasons for an Enum type was the pretty str and repr, I don't see format in that area.

How often will one type in "{}".format(some_var) to find out what type of object one has? Myself, I would just type some_var.
